hardware/software inventory

There are a few things you could consider. One is building youself a simple database using ms access. It isn't very difficult if you have any expierence with it. The other would be to search for a shareware program.

I had users running rampant on Windows 98 SE. Everytime I turned around they were loading a new version of software despite signing an agreement. I was on the verge of slamming the building with Windows NT and 2000 just so I could lock them down. Iam running Audit Wizard 4.0. I have so many computers that I have to run it from the network. But it can be run from a floppy and the results can be save to the same floppy. This application is a bit expensive but after you let your users know you are using it you will never get another call about a computer locking up and find out that some bright person decided to load an incompatible piece of software they downloaded.

Here is the link:

msinfo32.exe ships with win98 and inventories the stand alone pc but not the entire network ..you can find it and copy it on the floppy to run it on other win98 machines from the floppy .

I hope its helpful

I use a demo version of belarc advisor...
www.belarc.com......
it fits on a floppy and you can get a complete report of all software and hardware installed on any computer. I have the .exe on a share on the server and I will use it after every reinstall on a system and then print off the results. I will save the html file as well and then edit all the ads and such out of it using word then I catalogue everything for a quick reference on what is installed on a machine before I go to work on it.
Good luck!

Mike
